Mr.Ames said they had _French_ stamped upon the very face of them.
This expression produced a warm retort from Colonel Parker.
He wished there was a stamp on the forehead of every person to designate whether he was for France or Britain.

For himself he would not be silent and hear that nation abused to whom America was indebted for her rank as a nation.

He was firmly persuaded that but for the aid of France in the last war, those gentlemen now on the floor who prided themselves in abusing her, would not have had an opportunity in that place of doing it.

This sentiment produced a clap in the galleries.

This indecorum was severely reprobated, and a motion was made to clear the galleries.
